McDowell back with Leavine Family Racing

Michael McDowell

Leavine Family Racing has announced parts of their 2016 season plans. So far the team has announced that driver Michael McDowell will return to drive and that the team will run the full 2016 Sprint Cup Series season.

Supposedly Joe Falk, owner of the #33 Circle Sport team, has merged / sold the team to Leavine Family Racing, so the #95 team has owners points to be eligible for a charter (when/if NASCAR goes to that ownership system) or be higher in owners points.

Jayski rumors the team will switch manufacturers from Ford to Chevy and Thrivent Financial will return to sponsor the team in an unknown number of races. (LFR Facebook / Twitter)
